Thanks bobmitch

nero DiscSpeed 4 still has the same error

Activation context generation failed for "D:\Programs\Nero\Nero8\Nero Toolkit\DiscSpeed.exe".Error in manifest or policy file "" on line .

I have no such error, where are you getting this, I just used it twice.

Is this releated to Vista or something, I have no errors.

i think it happens in 64bit OS only, I use Vista and server 2008, but i think it happens in 64bit XP as well.

Error is not visible to end user, it shows up in event viewer everytime you start the program. CD-DVD Speed was fine, it only happens with DiscSpeed

this error also causes DiscSpeed to be unstable

Hi

Sorry I have to disagree that this happens on Vista 64 bit at least and I did look at my error logs which is none.

you have 64bit vista?

this happens for me on
64bit vista ultimate RTM (PC1)
64bit vista home premium RTM (laptop)
64bit server 2008 RC0 (server)
64bit server 2008 RC1 (server)
64bit vista ultimate SP1 RC1 (PC1)

3 PCs and same problem

Yes but I don't have the RTM I have the retail version. Look at my siggy to see my system specs. Also I am using VISTA SP1 RC too.

Hi
OK I can get this too.
Vista 64 bit. (Ultimate SP1 etc)
Has something to do with 64 bit & running in compatability mode (32 bit).
At least that's what I've come to believe.
However I don't get any unstability as a result of this.

here is server, same error

IT works for Dr Who and but I just read where Zeb can recreate this, I know it works with XP Pro. They both run 32bit and 64 bit Vista, ,

RTM is retail

what are you talking about, Zeb just said he has the problem as well

its unstable if i have two programs open at the same time

so lets say i have one program open, and i'm doing test burn on the samsung (sata), then i start second instance and try to do quality scan on my benq (ide).

One of the two instances of program will crash locking in the drive, and won't eject the disc until a restart

Hi
Here is my screenshot.

This might be your issue as I don't run 2 tests at once.

point is that CD-DVD Speed i could run 4 programs at once, and it didn't crash. DiscSpeed is unstable.

When you installed the latest version did you say yes on nero collecting data to better assist their users?

no, don't like spies

Hi
Just tried that.
Here's the result.
